Homework 6: Revised Interfaces Based on HE

Assigned: Mon, Dec. 5, 2011; Due: Mon,
Dec. 12, 2011

The TA should have already sent to you the two evaluations from your classmates.
In this assignment, you should revise your interface based on that feedback. It
is very important that you respond to each criticism, and avoid changing each
good thing mentioned. In general, you should make the recommended changes.
However, if you have a good reason for not making a fix, you can make
that argument in your report. Your grade on this assignment will depend
primarily on the quality of your final, resulting interface, and your responses
to your classmates' comments. Your grade will be
lowered if we do not agree with your reason for not fixing problems
that were brought up in your previous user studies, and by your classmates in
their heuristic analyses.

The deliverables for this assignment are:

First, the final revised prototype, resulting from your responses to all
the user studies and heuristic analyses. Zip up your implementation files as usual. Name
this file: HCI-HW6-lastname-firstname.zip and upload it to
Blackboard.

Second, you should write a report, discussing how you responded to each
item mentioned by your classmates. First, fill in the final (yellow) column
of the reports you received. You must turn in the two HE forms given to you,
with your column filled in based on your responses. In addition to the
responses on the tables, you should write extra information as follows. You must have screenshots
to show what you changed, so it is easier to see -- circle your changes and
reference them in the report. If you made any other changes to your system since Homework 4, for
example in response to the TA's comments, or problems users had in your user
studies which you had not previously addressed, then please make a note of
that in your report too, and mention the source of the problem. You will get
a better grade based on all the improvements you make from your previous
(Assignment 4) version, whether the recommendation for the change results
from a previous user study, the TA or an HE. Turn this part in hardcopy
in class.

You should also fill out the three (3) questionnaires for the class.
We take all the comments seriously, and try to improve the class each year:
